Chapter 0337: Zhang Wen is dethroned
"It's not that I'm decisive, it's that I believe in Wenxuan."
Compared with his own feelings, Feng Yong still believes in Li Yi's political vision, after all, he can be regarded as an authentic son of a Shuzhong family.
Anyway, even if it is offered, it will not affect Feng Tujiao to wipe his ass with paper.
"But since it is a great merit, the Zhang family planted mulberry hemp, and it was justified in changing the name."
Feng Yong thought about it again, "After all, the Zhang family's mulberry hemp will be used in the future, so I am afraid that this credit will also be given to the Zhang family." ”
Li Yi's face was a little strange, and he leaned over and whispered, "Brother is so kind to the Zhang family!" Sanniang has been following her brother for a long time, and she has been running for her brother several times, besides, Zhangguan Erfu is one. Since the Zhang family has a share, why not pull the Guan family as well? ”
Feng Yong was stunned, although Li Yi's words were very hidden, he still heard it.
The meaning is nothing more than asking, I treat the Zhang family well, is it possible that I really want to marry the lady of the Zhang family?
Otherwise, why did Guan Ji follow him for so long, and still work hard to go back and forth, but he didn't expect the Guan family?
Thinking of the beauty for herself, she even hid Huang Yueying from the past, the girl is so outgoing, how serious is the love?
"Wen Xuan is right."
Feng Yong glanced at Li Yi gratefully, "Sanniang did not hesitate to go back and forth for this matter, how could it be in vain?" You have to think about how to deal with it. ”
"Sanniang went to Jincheng to persuade the Zhang family to plant mulberry hemp, which was the first initiative, and the Zhang family agreed to come down, which is a response, and then we will offer it, how about it?"
Li Yi suggested.
"Good!"
Feng Yong was overjoyed.
"That being the case, send someone to Nanzheng to say a word and inform Huang Ji that she will go to Nanxiang before going to Jincheng. The stakes are high, and it would be better for her to deliver the letter herself. ”
"Little brother knows."
At this time, when preparing to harvest autumn grain, Huang Wudie, as a large grain supplier in Nanxiang, naturally had to pay attention to his own land when it was time to cultivate and harvest.
So she has been in Nanzheng these days, and she has only passed the word that when the time comes, let Feng Yong let people transport grain, and she will return to Jincheng.
Huang Fupo went to Jincheng to spend the winter as soon as it was winter, and Feng Yong also understood, but he was going to go a little earlier this year, and it is estimated that it was because of Zhao Guang.
The relationship between this sister and brother seems to have made some progress.
It's just that Feng Yong is worried, that is, the question of whether Huang Wudie is a stone girl or not, if the rumors are true, then Zhao Guang wants to marry Huang Wudie, but I am afraid that Zhao Yun may not agree.
In September of the second year of the Han Dynasty, Yu Dongwu was the third year of Huangwu.
The prime minister of the Han Dynasty valued Zhang Wen's talent, and sent Deng Zhi to visit Wu again, but in fact, he escorted Zhang Wen back to Wu.
After arriving in Wu, Deng Zhi did not hesitate to praise his praise, and praised Zhang Wen's talent in front of the Eastern Wu monarchs, saying that the emperor of the Han Dynasty and the prime minister of the Han Dynasty both valued Zhang Wen very much, and also said that Zhang Wen was impressed by many talents in Shu when he was in the Han Dynasty.
The exchange of visits between Han and Wu envoys greatly eased the tense confrontation between the two countries and made Soochow, which was under pressure from both sides, breathe a sigh of relief.
Zhang Wen's entry into Shu was a major event, and now he has not only succeeded in reuniting the two countries to friendship, but has even won the respect of Shu Han, which makes the people of Eastern Wu feel that their faces are bright.
Zhang Wen became famous.
Zhang Wen was treated as a guest of honor by the Han Dynasty from entering Shu to returning to Wu, and now the Han not only sent Deng Zhi to send him back, but even praised himself like this, and his heart was moved.
So he went to the table of Sun Quan, the king of Wu, and tried his best to praise the beauty and politics of the Han Dynasty, saying that the people in Shu were stable and the politics were clear.
This was originally a matter of courtesy and business boasting, which was not a big deal.
But at this time, something happened in Soochow, that is, the affair.
Ji Yan and Zhang Wen are fellow villagers, both of whom are from the Wu County Wang family, and were recommended by Zhang Wen as the election of Cao Lang, the official to the book, and can be regarded as the leader of the personnel department.
His personality is upright, upright, good and clear, and likes to use Confucian ethics and morality as the basis.
Because he saw that Cao Lang in his office at that time was incompetent, he wanted to reform the various vices of selecting talents at that time without distinguishing between merit and ignorance, favoritism, and confusion.
He first lashed out at this, and then wrote a letter of vigorous impeachment, and wanted to re-select officials.
In the end, he demoted all those who were in positions of greed and despicable to petty officials in the army, and found that there was not one in the original office who was competent.
This would have been a good thing.
But half of these people who were belittled by him were the children of the wealthy families in Jiangdong, and half were the descendants of the meritorious veterans who followed the Sun family to fight the world.
Both of these are to mix qualifications and prepare to climb up. In doing so, he almost offended the entire Eastern Wu magnates.
So everyone was extremely resentful of him, and slander spread everywhere, competing to accuse Ji Yan and Xuan Cao Lang Xu Biao, saying that they were dedicated to personal affairs and did not act according to justice.
In order to appease everyone's anger, Sun Quan directly turned over the old account, saying that Ji Yan's father and brother had been against the Sun family from the beginning (when Sun Ce leveled Jiangdong, the Jiangdong wealthy families were unwilling to cooperate, so Sun Ce killed many Jiangdong wealthy families, and it was not until the two married later that the relationship eased), forcing Ji Yan and Xu Biao to commit suicide.
At this time, Zhang Wen, the introducer of Ji Yan, tried his best to praise the political clarity of the Han Dynasty......
Sun Quan defeated Cao Cao in the Battle of Chibi, and Liu Bei in the Battle of Yiling.
Both of these are heroes of the world, but they did not expect to be defeated under their own hands, it is the time when the spring breeze is proud, looking at the world, there is already a sense of complacency that is invincible in the world.
Cao Pi in the north just took advantage of the country laid by Cao Cao.
Adou in the west, that is, a child who has not grown up, if it is not for the assistance of Zhuge Liang, how can he sit on the throne?
So Sun Quan wanted to ask loudly: "Who else?" ”
At this time, someone gave him a resounding slap in the face.
Ji Yan said that he chose talents without distinguishing between virtuous and foolish, so that he let those who were greedy and unscrupulous steal high positions, and then that Zhang Wen said that Shu Han was politically clear - this is a slap in the face, right?
Sun Quan was originally a high-minded and arrogant person, but now when he is full of contentment, how can he endure this breath?
After forcing Ji Yan to commit suicide, he secretly hated Zhang Wen for praising Shu Han too much, and his fame became bigger and bigger, so he felt that his words would be spread out, and he would definitely confuse the people of the world.
At the same time, Zhang Wen and Ji Yan are both Wu Jun Wang, and the two are good friends, Ji Yan was forced to commit suicide, Sun Quan felt that Zhang Wen may not have no resentment in his heart - no, Lao Tzu has to strike first.
So Sun Quan ordered Zhang Wen to be locked up.
As soon as the external troubles passed, the cracks between the Sun family and the Jiangdong wealthy family began to loom again.
Sun Quan's love will Luo Tong pleaded for mercy and was willing to use his official identity as a guarantor.
Sun Quan couldn't listen to it, and finally read Zhang Wen's great merit of restoring the Han-Wu Alliance, and did not kill him, but just deposed him.
Along with Zhang Wen, his two younger brothers, Zhang Yi and Zhang Bai, were deposed.
The Zhang family of Wujun suddenly became depressed.
"Be careful, go straight!"
On the land of the Zhang family in Wu County, Zhang Wen stood on the ground and said loudly to the farmers in the field.
The political turmoil in the imperial court cannot be eaten as food, and what can be eaten as food is still the grain from the ground.
After this incident, Zhang Wen returned to his hometown to live idlely.
After harvesting the grain, Zhang Wen uncharacteristically let the farmers turn over the land, using the Quyuan plough he brought back from Shu.
As for the eight-ox plow, Zhuge Liang didn't give it.
The reason is very simple, Jiangdong is mostly paddy fields, many mountains and rivers, and there is no place for eight oxen and plows.
If people don't give it, Zhang Wen can't do anything, but it is a blessing to get the Quyuan plow.
He went to the king of Wu and said that the politics of the Han Dynasty were clear, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and men and women lived in the wilderness, which was not a lie.
Among them, the output of that land is twice that of Wu land, and this Quyuan plough and eight oxen plough are indispensable.
So he thought about promoting this quyuan plough in Wudi, but before he could start, he almost died.
This matter also made him disheartened, and he was afraid that this Quyuan plough would not be known to the people of Wudi, so he took it to his own grange for trial.
"Lord, the Han envoy Deng Bomiao is here."
The next person will report it.
"Oh, please."
When Zhang Wen heard this, he hurriedly said.
"Forgiveness, I hurt you, you should not praise you like this, and make others jealous."
Before Deng Zhiren arrived, he bowed deeply from afar and said sincerely, his face full of apologies.
"Wen Zi lost his morality, so this led to King Wu's crime, what do you have to do with Brother Bo Miao?"
Zhang Wen sighed.
Thinking that King Wu had convicted him, he even scolded his father and brother, and his heart was even more resentful.
When the Sun family first arrived in Jiangdong, what did they do, did King Wu really have no bottom in his heart? is still reversing right and wrong like this, confusing black and white.
It's just that Deng Bomiao is an envoy of the Han Dynasty, his identity is sensitive, and every move he makes may not be able to escape King Wu's ears and eyes, so he doesn't dare to show a strange look on his face.
"Why did Bo Miao come?"
"I'm here to see old friends."
When Zhang Wen heard this, his heart was moved, but he said in his mouth, "Bo Miao is a messenger of the Han Dynasty, but Wen is now a sinner, how can he be worthy of his old friend?" made King Wu unhappy and missed the major events of the two countries, so how should it be good? ”
Deng Zhi said with a smile, "In front of King Wu, Zhi is a messenger, and in front of Hui Shu, Zhi is an old friend, and the two have nothing to do with each other. Besides, a few days ago, Zhi met King Wu in person, and he had already displayed the goodwill of the Han to King Wu, and King Wu knew Zhizhi's intentions. ”
"I came to see Huishu this time, King Wu also knows, Huishu doesn't have to worry."
Deng Bomiao is eloquent, but he is honest, even in front of King Wu, he also has one thing to say, never taboo, and he is deeply liked by King Wu, and Zhang Wen naturally knows it.
Since he said that he had the permission of King Wu, it was probably because of his plea that he could come to see him.
Thinking of this, Zhang Wen couldn't help but sigh again, upright people like Deng Bomiao are deeply used in the Han Dynasty, but they are also upright people, but they were forced to commit suicide in Wu State.
King Wu's arrogant heart has already appeared.
The two of them let the people retreat and walked on the ground. Deng Zhi pointed to the ground and said, "Huishu is dedicated to the country, and he has worked hard to bring back this Quyuan plough from the Han Dynasty, but now he can only try it in his own field, which is really a pity." ”
Although Zhang Wen fell into such a situation, he didn't want the big man to come and see the joke, "This Quyuan plow, since it is a good thing, even if King Wu doesn't notice it for a while, it will always spread, what's the pity?" ”
Deng Zhi listened, just smiled, and did not refute.
To promote this Quyuan plow, if there is no support from the government, just relying on the private actions of the people, it may not be able to get out of this Wu County in ten years, let alone promote it to the entire land of Eastern Wu.
Take the Han Dynasty as an example, in order to promote the eight oxen plow, His Majesty the Emperor went out of Jincheng, personally stood on the ground and watched, and let the people of the smelting prison go down to the ground to show everyone.
In the end, when the prime minister reclaimed the wasteland around Dujiangyan, he personally organized the people to use eight oxen to plow, and one eight-ox plough ploughed in one day, and there were hundreds of acres of new fields, how many people were shocked?
This is why the big households in Shu have bought eight oxen plows behind.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have believed that just by changing the plow, you can not only plough more fields, but also fetch more grain?
Food is the root of life, and without complete certainty, who will easily change the way of farming?
In case of a poor harvest, it will be a major event for people to starve to death.
Therefore, if you want to vigorously promote it, you must have the support of the government. Even the support of the government alone may not be able to be promoted, and before that, people must see the benefits of this.
When the eight oxen plough and the Quyuan plough came out, there were still people in the imperial court who were worried that they would be taken away by the people from the north, but now look at it, what is the movement in the north?
Even Dongwu, who was close to the Han Dynasty, didn't react, and some people even took this incident as a joke, saying that the Han Dynasty could even make up this kind of thing in order to win over the people's hearts.
Jokes are jokes, Deng Zhi hopes that they will always treat this as a joke.
Thinking of this, Deng Zhi shook his head, did not discuss too much with Zhang Wen on this matter, but said, "Huishu, I will be back to Dahan soon, this time, in addition to saying goodbye to you, there is something I want to give to you." ”
"What?"
Deng Zhi beckoned to the subordinate who was following him far away, only to see a subordinate walking over quickly with something in his hand.
Deng Zhi took the things from the hands of the subordinates, and waved his hand to let the subordinates go down.
Then it shook open, and it turned out to be a thick piece of clothing.
"This is after you and I returned to Wudi, the prime minister heard about you, and sent someone to send it over, this thing is called a sweater, and it is very warm to wear in winter."
As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said, "The prime minister listened to your story and deeply regretted it, so this is why the people in Hanzhong carefully made this garment, and I heard that it is made of the finest and fluffiest hair, which is extremely rare." ”
"Wu Di is wet and cold in winter, and the prime minister said that this dress is just to warm you up."
Zhang Wen listened, and his eyes were hot.
"But please Bo Miao bring a message back to the prime minister, saying that he has thanked the prime minister for his kindness."
"Zhiding will bring it, but before that, the prime minister has another word for me to transfer to you."
"But I don't know what it is?"
When Zhang Wen heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little worried, although he was deposed, even if he had a grudge against King Wu in his heart, he was still a Wu minister, and he would never lose his temper.
"The prime minister said, Hui Shu is too clear, and good and evil are too divided, which is why this disaster is incurred. King Wu is the master of the Ming Dynasty after all, and one day he will understand that this is the virtue of forgiveness. ”
When Zhang Wen heard this, he only felt that something was blocked in his throat, and he was speechless for a while.
The prime minister knows himself well!
I came back and told King Wu truthfully everything that the Han Dynasty saw, and tried his best to praise the beauty of Shu Zheng, isn't it precisely because of the clear distinction between good and evil that I want King Wu to govern Wu land better?
Zhang Wen touched the clothes in his hand, and felt that it was soft and warm, in order to hide his gaffe, he immediately changed the topic and said, "I don't know if this clothing is made of things, but people can't see it." ”
Deng Zhi smiled slightly and said, "Speaking of which, Hui Shu is only afraid that he will not believe it, this is made of wool." However, the choice is the most woolly and finest, and a hundred sheep may not be able to save it. ”
"How is that possible?" Zhang Wen exclaimed, raised his clothes and looked at them, "How can wool be made of this?" Who had this idea? ”
"This person Huishu has also heard of it, his surname is Feng, his name is Yong, and the words are clear."
"But Feng Langjun, who wrote such eloquent essays as "The Difficulty of Shu Dao"?"
"Exactly."
"Morning and evening, three chins, pre-book newspapers. We don't have a long way to go, until the long wind and sand. ”
Zhang Wen read the last two sentences of "Long Dry Journey", and his face showed a look of great regret, "I can't wait to meet such an outstanding young man." Bo Miao, this time I am afraid that I will not be able to send you all the way to Changfengsha. ”
Changfeng Sha is in Wu Land.
